Every year our librarian Linda Lakshminarayanan puts together a Book Quest for our children at Emerson School in Ann Arbor, Michigan. For the Book Quest, the kids read 5 books over a 6 week period, meeting weekly for discussion.

This year Deb Hoffman and I had the pleasure of coaching five second and third graders through the quest. The children read Akimbo and the Elephants by Alexander McCall Smith. They adored the story and enjoyed Akimo’s challenge to save the elephants. We discussed the book and what we could do as a small group to help. One of the children had the idea of painting pictures of the elephants or other African animals and selling them for $5.00 each to support your foundation. Enclosed you will find a check for $30.00 and a pring of Alexander Vidovic’s painting which sold for $10.00 Please acknowledge our children from the Emerson School Book Quest for their extraordinary donation.
